It's almost that time again! The biennial convention of the New Zealand Association of Miniature Enthusiasts. All year dolls house and miniatures enthusiasts from around the country have been planning and plotting and making tiny things to exhibit at the convention. It is a chance to look and learn and be inspired by what others have done. It's a visual feast! And a chance to shop, shop, shop at the traders' tables for those special minis.
This year the convention will be in Nelson, hosted by the Nelson Miniatures Club and held at Waimea College, in Richmond.
This will be at Labour Weekend 24 - 27 October, 2014.
There's a full programme of workshops and round-table smaller projects to do.
More details can be found on the NZAME website.
Perhaps we'll see you in Nelson in October!

Look at the Miniature Circus

| The Miniature Circus in a Matchbox |
Although this was one of the smallest mini projects I've done, it was also the easiest. No cutting. No gluing. No painting or staining. All I had to do was pop the little cardboard figures out from their perforated backing card, poke holes in the numbered 'crosses' with my cake tester (that was the finest, sharpest pointy thing I had!) and then push the corresponding numbered pieces into place.
It all came together in about 10 minutes. For a fun little mini that's very different from the norm, it makes a nice souvenir of my time in Germany.
